SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am fascinated by the intriguing world of non-coding RNAs. I am particularly interested in microRNAs and various signal pathways which require involvement of these molecules. I would like to study the alteration of microRNAs expression profiles during development and under pathological circumstances. Upon completion of the studies I hope to pursue my research in the afore-said or relevant area.
